Koodos to Vivante!…read more Just days before my mother was admitted to Vivante, she experienced the heartbreaking loss of the love of her life. As a former Skilled Nursing Director, I knew it would be hard to find not just a care facility but a true community for her. She was my main concern. From the moment we arrived, we found exactly that! Danika, the Director, leads with compassion and strength. Olivia, the coordinator, brings a level of organization that made the transition feal seamless. Julie the secretary, greeted us with warmth every day. Making The Shores feel like home. Kaytlin, the activities director is slowly bringiing my non social mother back into life with her creativity and genuine joy. The employees ooze happiness with their jobs. The service is exceptional and its truly is a 5 star resort for the elderly. The menus are beyond brilliant and the food quality is a chefs kiss! The entertainment is beyond amazing, with numerous grand events to entertain family and the residents. Vivante isn't just an Assisted Living or Memory care facility. It is a touch of elegance that I am putting my name on the waiting list soon! I couldn't be happier with the care my mother is receiving. The employees go above and beyond to make each resident feel loved! I couldn't be more gratful that Vivante has walked alongside our family in such a vulnerable time! You made a very difficult situation a seamless effort to make my mother content and happy. I can literally relax now and live my life in peace. Just an FYI, they serve amazing dinners and have a good selection of wine for visitors and residents themselves. Always a good reason to visit a loved one. Vivante..... One classy place! Exceptional in every way! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Yvette Matthiessen (Yolande AKA YoYos daughter)

They take excellent care of their residents, treating them with genuine compassion and respect. The community itself is clean, smells fresh, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that really feels like home. What stood out most is that their care clearly comes from the heart.

I highly recommend Newport Mesa Senior Living if you are looking for a place where your loved one will be cared for like family. They also have community dog that brings smiles to everyone.

However, she recently sustained a fall and fractured her tibia requiring a higher level of care. We were dismayed that staffing shortages at this facility required her to wait for prolonged periods of time for basic care which made her anxious, disappointed and sad. This prompted us to look for other local alternatives and we visited Vivante at Newport Center. They happened to have a special rate for the smaller units which ended up costing us only $700 more per month. However, the differences in the caregivers was astounding. Everyone took special measures to ensure they understood her needs and couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. In addition, the room was considerably more spacious, has an elegant full kitchen (as opposed to a kitchenette with a microwave) and the food and restaurant is not even comparable. We have met several residents who also moved from Atria to Vivante but never the reverse. When my wife wrote a heartfelt letter about the incompetence of some of the staff to the Senior Executive Director of Atria, Mr. Brian Keys, he never even responded. Does this represent the priorities of their leadership? In all fairness, there are employees at Atria that are caring and competent. But even at the standard rent and level of care, the relatively nominal upgrade price is the bargain of a lifetime.

The owner is always coming in to say hello and chat with the residents as well as with the staff and is always looking for ways to make your experience even better. I feel safe and comfortable here and especially knowing that someone is working at night in case you need anything. I can't say enough great things about the experience here, but to summarize, being here allows you to continue a good quality of life and feels like home.

My mother-in-law ("Teta") has lived here for some time, and the genius of this place is how it acts as a magnet for our entire family. Whether it's my wife and I (in our 60s and 70s) enjoying what is truly one of the best restaurants in Newport Beach, or our adult children and grandkids (ages 3 to 11) heading to the basement for the bowling alley, arcade, and golf simulator, everyone actually wants to visit. The facility is bright, fresh, and exceptionally clean. The staff is top-tier, and the value for the quality of food and wine is unbeatable. If you want your loved one to be in a place that feels vibrant and welcoming rather than "drab," Vivante is in a league of its own.

I can't overstate how impressed our family is with Newport Senior Living…read more My mother-in-law has been a resident for over two years. Prior to that we had in-home care. Before we transitioned to Newport Senior Living, we had inconsistent care, unreliable caregivers, and unacceptable communication and coordination. And the cost was out of control. Upon transitioning to Newport Senior Living, all these concerns were resolved. The facility is unbelievable clean, with a separate bedroom and bathroom for each resident. The "family room" is warm, organized and inviting. The staff is caring and professional. They provide individual attention to each resident. The term resident isn't actually correct, as the residents and staff became like family members. The food is excellent. They provide consistent care and have a back-up plan in case a staff member can't work. The grounds are beautiful and allow for activities, like gardening. Each week, chair exercise sessions are held. They plan special birthday parties and activities throughout the week and holidays. From a professional perspective, all-important qualities include professionalism, reliability, integrity, communication skills and being a team player. The Newport Senior Living staff provides this. From a personal perspective, when selecting a home or facility for a family member, the qualities listed above are important, but just as significant are interpersonal skills. Newport Senior Living has consistently demonstrated compassion, patience, loving care, respect, tact, and courtesy; the list goes on. We highly recommend Newport Senior Living.
